A heartfelt THANK YOU to all of our veterans

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and before we begin the big rush into the holidays, I’d like to take a moment to consider Veterans Day.  Veterans Day is this Monday, November 11, 2013 and focuses our attention to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.  In observance of Veterans Day, Braintree will be host to a number of activities honoring those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

I hope you will join me in a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of our veterans and active military personnel!

Braintree Historical Society Display
The Braintree Historical Society will honor Veterans Day commencing 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. on November 9, 10, and 11 with displays of WWI artifacts, documents, manuscripts, photographs, and artwork some relating to Braintree Veterans.

Additionally, there will be a special display of WWI artifacts recovered from tunnels, caves, trenches and battle fields of Northern France, in addition to a video of limestone tunnel walls where soldiers from New England etched their names and artwork. Admission is FREE.

The displays will continue on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays for the remainder of November.

What's My Home Worth?

As a professional realtor, I am asked all the time "What's my home worth?".  When you are thinking of selling, this is an excellent first question.  Here is a free online evaluation tool to get you pointed in the right direction:


What's my home worth?

When you're looking for a partner to help you negotiate the complexities of selling a home, you've come to the right place. The experience, dedication and strong communication you'll receive with me will help ensure the successful and profitable sale of your home:

1. The Local Advantage - Take advantage of a broad spectrum of technologies and tools to support the sale of your home from start to close.

2. Internet Advertising - Since the lion's share of home buyers starts their search on the internet, top placement on search engines is essential. You'll gain access to placement on Google, MSNBC, and other websites. This will maximize your exposure and bring a large number of potential buyers to view information about your home.

3. Email Campaigns - It's important to "work the network." We can work together to identify the right people to target your home-and get in touch with them by email to drive excitement and interest.

4. Personal Touch - Of course, technology alone won't sell your home. Face-to-face interaction provides the advantage to sell your home-and you won't have to worry about a thing. The details will be handled with care and constant communication, to ensure the marketing and sale of your home go smoothly.

I can offer a wealth of knowledge and services to assist in all your real estate needs. I will be happy to work with you on listing your house and finding and purchasing the perfect home!
